@Marejuana solo is looking pretty healthy homie. she travels apparently with lots of big sticks :badboy:

she has had no water since i tossed a seed in the dirt( then only 25ml ). heh, algae be damn if there no moisture yet but it gets a drink soon. bring on the green blobs of love.

bowl up,
chris.

jipp · Jun 3, 2017

i lied. i blew it up with paint. and i think i see a few spots of algae ( shows how little water it takes for them to grow tho ), and i also see some drops of moisture.. it can go another day with out water.
go blue cups!

so what is happing to the plants leafs what is making the lil suger curl and brown?

Since she has been without food for song long she's in a sense eating herself. When they can't pull any nutrients from the medium anymore they start to relocate and use the reserves within the plant tissue and put it elsewhere. At least for the nutrients that can be relocated that is. It's a sign shes gonna come down soon nice and ripe. :D

jipp · Jun 7, 2017

here is a example of a plant eating it self alive early stage.

these plants were breed for growing out side in the desert and it shows. it cares more about food than water it would seem.

i have another seedling that is a day older than solo and it had to be watered 2 days a go.. im gonna feed solo tonight. i see no point in starving her.. it would probably kill it self before giving into something like wilting at this point.. or at last thats the impression you get. the other seedling when i woke was drooping as fuck for a seedling and that was 2 days ago.. so its impressive what plants can do if they have the factors err genes to get it done. hah.

rock on,
chris.

No problem. Hmmmm It's hard to say to be honest. I've been flushing so I suppose the best answer I can give is it's a deficit of NPK in general.

Thanks much appreciated! Just chopped her down today:D Here's the post I just put up in the grow off thread.

Week 14+(100 days!)

:fire:One seed. One dream:fire:

A couple days late in posting but here she is. I let this baby go till today. 100 days! In other words 2 days over 14 weeks from seed. She really wanted to go long for an auto. This was a good experience.

Here she is. Final shots before the chop and some roots as well! I'll post up final weight when she's done drying.:D
